Very tiring. <br /><br />Yeah, I pretty much never rode my bike in Texas. Too hot and not a lot of safe bike trails. At least not where we lived.<br /><br />BTW, it's so nice to see you here again! I've missed you. :) I hope you're doing ok.<br /><br />Bellezza - Are they really? I guess that shouldn't surprise me. :) Yes, my Trek is a mountain bike. It's ancient, but I can't see buying a new one for a few more years. A hybrid would be nice. A little smoother/faster ride, right? I love to bike...and walk...and paddle. I miss running, but I guess that's life. These old knees aren't what they used to be.<br /><br />Hope you get some sunny, warm weather soon. It was 86 here today!!<br /><br />See you on the trails. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-84667296438936381052010-03-31T06:44:46.940-07:002010-03-31T06:44:46.940-07:00You know our paths are almost identical! At first ...You know our paths are almost identical! At first I thought, "Ho did Lesley get a picture of my bike path?" Our bikes are, too. Is yours a mountain bike? Mine is, and I'm thinking of switching to a hybrid, but there's not enough money right now with car repair expenses. Anyway, bicycling is my sport of choice, and I join in your joy. I only hope it warms up a little bit here! See you on the path, so to speak. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-72697643150697594512010-03-29T15:00:11.895-07:002010-03-29T15:00:11.895-07:00Sounds like a wonderful time!

I am hoping to get a bike early this Summer although I wonder just how crazy I am to even try to bike around in the Texas heat! haha... <br /><br />Loved reading this post. Hope you have a lot of joy every day!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-71794602830757842152010-03-28T15:05:18.102-07:002010-03-28T15:05:18.102-07:00Nancy - I used to live out in the country and was ...Nancy - I used to live out in the country and was terrified when the unleashed dogs would chase me as I rode past their houses. I'm still a little nervous around unleashed dogs, especially when I have Annie with me. But for the most part, people keep their dogs on leashes.<br /><br />Nan - We have such a great trail system here in Lincoln (and in the country nearby). Lots of places to ride safely. <br /><br />Come visit. We have an extra bike! :)<br /><br />Ti - Thank you for your nice comment. Isn't it great to live somewhere that encourages biking! This is your year to buy one. :)<br /><br />Melanie - I should be out biking right now, but we just got back from the dog run and sat outside on the porch enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, sipping a glass of wine. We're in for some wonderful weather all week, so I'm sure I'll get back on the trail at least once or twice.<br /><br />Staci - And today's just as beautiful! Good-bye winter!!!!<br /><br />Lisa - I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to have the sun shining and the temps in the high 50s. Heavenly! To think I took this all for granted when I lived in San Diego...Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-81567742109847828152010-03-27T16:19:01.942-07:002010-03-27T16:19:01.942-07:00I'm so ready for spring to arrive that it didn...I'm so ready for spring to arrive that it didn't even occur to me that these pics couldn't possibly have been taken recently!

I just called and asked if he'd tune up my road bike before he leaves. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706415853410863622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-31825199606363956362010-03-26T07:15:17.405-07:002010-03-26T07:15:17.405-07:00I love this post.

There is just one designated path in a state park. The main roads are curvy and hilly. As I think about it, I hardly ever seen kids on bikes anymore. When I was a girl I lived on my bike, and went all over town. I wonder what's different? Inside electronics, maybe. More car traffic? Anyhow, I'd love to be able to take your bike ride!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-52681169683121649762010-03-25T19:11:55.162-07:002010-03-25T19:11:55.162-07:00I cannot even begin to tell you how envious I am o...I cannot even begin to tell you how envious I am of your ability to hop on a bike and ride around without having to worry about being chased by dogs.
